Title: Preoperative nasopharyngeal decolonization using Mupirocin and Chlorhexidine in preventing surgical site infection: A meta-analysis

Biography

Dr. Buaron has completed her specialty training in Internal Medicine at St. Luke’s Medical Center-Quezon City, Philippines and passed her Diplomate examination at the age of 29. She is currently on her last year of Fellowship Training in Pulmonary Medicine in the the same institution.

Abstract

Using the random effects model, the computed summary statistic was 0.59 with CI 0.37-0.94 in favor of the experimental treatment however due to substantial heterogeneity (Tau2 of 0.25 Chi 2 30.34 and I2 of 84%.) we cannot draw definite conclusion from the meta-analysis. Subgroup analysis using both mupirocin nasal swab and chlorhexidine gargle were used for preoperative decolonization, the summary statistic generated was 0.40 with 95% CI of 0.23-0.69, with no heterogeneity (Tau2 of 0, Chi2 of 0.09 and I2 of 0.), and was noted to be in favor of the experimental treatment.

Title: Our body acts against Facts of Physics in Fever

Biography

A practicing physician in the field of healthcare in the state of Kerala in India for the last 29 years and very much interested in basic research. My interest is spread across the fever , inflammation and back pain,. I am a writer. I already printed and published nine books in these subjects. I wrote hundreds of articles in various magazines.
I presented 9 research papers in Indian Science Congress 2008 to 2017.And 2 papers selected for the coming 2018 Indian science congress. I presented 2 papers in kerala science congress2014and 2017.
After scientific studies for a long time, we have developed a theory, Which proves the temperature of fever is to increase blood circulation. we have developed 8000 affirmative cross checking questions. It can explain all queries related with fever and it considers the messages of the body and the facts of physics

Abstract

According to the facts of physics, if temperature increases, thermal expansion of an object is positive it will expand and with decrease of temperature it will shrink. Pressure will increase due to increase of temperature.
On the contrary, during fever we can see blood vessels and skin are shrunk, pressure decreases, body shivers, sleep increases, motion decreases, inflammation increases, body pain increases, blood circulation decreases, dislike cold substances etc...
In fever, the firing rate of Warm sensitive neurons decreases, and the firing rate of
Cold sensitive neurons increases.
At the same time if we apply hotness from outside by thermal bag or if we drink hot water, our body acts according to the Facts of Physics- increase of temperature pressure will also increase, expands blood vessels and skin, body sweats, motion will increase , inflammation will decrease , body pain will decrease, blood circulation will increase, like cold substances etc..

Abstract

Tuberculosis has been declared to be a global epidemic and there is an increasingly global and local effort to control tuberculosis. Despite all the effort, only less than half the annual estimated cases are reported by health authorities to the WHO. This could be due to poor Coverage and or due to poor reporting from the private sector. In Ethiopia, tuberculosis has also been considered a major public health problem as far back as 40 years ago. The aim of this study was to assess the role of the private health sector in tuberculosis control in Debre Markos Town, East Gojjam, Amhara Regional State, 2017.
An institution based cross-sectional descriptive study were carried out in private health facilities in Debre Markos town. A total of 260 tuberculosis suspects attending the private clinics during the study period were interviewed. Focus group discussion, Checklist & Structured questionnaire were used to collect the necessary data.
Majority of the private clinics were less equipped, poorly regulated and owned by health workers who were self-employed on a part-time basis. It was found that 34.6% of the study subjects opted for a private provider on their first consultation for their current illness. This study also revealed a significant patient delay before starting anti-tuberculosis treatment, the mean patient delay being 5.7 months. Moreover, provider delay of 4 and more months was significantly associated higher likelihood of turning to a private provider (OR=2.70, 95% CI=1.20, 6.08).
There is significant delay among tuberculosis patients. Moreover there is poor regulation of the private health sector by public health authorities. The involvement of the private sector in tuberculosis control in the study, under the prevailing scenario, should be limited to identification and refer of tuberculosis cases and suspects.

Title: Correlation of procalcitonin and fungal infections in patients with autoimmune disease admitted to the intensive care unit in Bogota

Biography

Jorge Aponte, is Colombian Physician, of Critical Care and Internal Medicine Departement, La Samaritana Hospital, Bogota, Colombia, interested in investigating about infectious processes in critical care, this research group has already presented works as in 2017 at the European Congress of Infectology. we want to share our experience in this field of research.

Abstract

Infectious diseases in patients with autoimmune diseases admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) are associated with unfavorable outcomes and a clear impact on mortality, making it necessary to establish biomarkers and cut-off points that allow for early identification of etiological agents related to active infections.

Abstract

The lack of an effective treatment and preventive measures against Malaria, represent a great persisting risk for the populations in endemic areas. Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by protozoan parasites that belong to genus the Plasmodium. More than 100 species of Plasmodium can infect different animal species, but P.falciparum has been cataloged as the most dangerous Malaria, due to the number of cases and severe symptomatology that produces in humans.
Particularly in Colombia, Malaria represents a serious public health problem. Despite the current progress in the search for new mechanisms to treat Malaria, it remains an ongoing globally challenge, mainly due to the increasing cases of resistance to current antimalarial drugs.
In this context, we propose Antimicrobial Peptides (AMPs) isolated from different amphibian species, who have previously shown activity against different pathogens, as a possible alternative for the treatment of Malaria. In silico results and the hemolytic activity of the AMPs were analyzed. Results clearly demonstrate that these peptides could have an activity against Plasmodium. Overall, the data indicate the potential advantages of this strategy for the development of selective peptides as research tools and eventually as antimalarial agents.
